The Strand -- Just One More!

This is a cropped view from one of the photos I posted earlier today. I spotted this insect near the top right of the photo and wanted to highlight it. No idea what it is!

It was taken with my 100--400mm lens.

Even the bug. You are so talented! Is it my imagination or is there another insect on the lower left on one of the buds?

I appreciate your kind remarks!

It might be your imagination; I looked carefully just now and didn't see any other insects.
